The trend to touch screen and touch control in general is so pointless and regressive.
It’s not just cars. You now get high end cookers with touch buttons that can’t be quickly adjusted, require long presses to turn on and off and don’t work when wet.
Same with high end digital cameras. My old SLR from the 90s had instant access to shutter speed, focus, f-stop, +/- with clicky dials that you could use with your eyes closed. Modern ones have half that buried in a menu somewhere.
The Touch Bar on mac - now you have to look at the keyboard to use shortcuts. Useless.
This was a god damn solved problem! Buttons let you use them without looking, touch screens don’t.
